It is formed of four, eight, or sixteea syllables iu a line, and often uses the rhyme named Autya-niyama; that is, that the terminations correspond, as is the case in English.

77. II. Using prasa; with the same number of the same feet, but with yati only on the fifth foot.
78. III. Is the same twice repeated, divided by yati into four equal parts.' Some authors compose it wholly of trochees, with a tribrach at the close: prasa is used.
